Okay if anyone wants to TEST this program, I've uploaded a 64bit version which you can download below. A 32bit version will be coming soon if you should need it.
http://cache.getlazarus.org/debs/makedeb_1.0-1-x86_64.deb To install either double click the deb and use your package manager program (Software Center on Ubuntu) and press install. Or type "sudo dpkg -i makedeb_1.0-1-x86_64.deb" If you don't already have apt-file installed, installing this deb should also install apt-file. The apt-file program is required to look up package names of your application's dependencies. It should build the cache when installed, but if you need to do it manually (I don't believe you do) the command would be "sudo apt-file update". To run the application type makedeb in any terminal, or search for Debian Packager in the dash (Ubuntu). Usage should be self explanatory. You either type of the path to you application, or press the button with the green plus and choose your application. Fill out the fields and press build. A few tips: You can pick the desktop icon by clicking the big image in the top left and picking a graphic file. The caption value is what will appear in the dash or if you pin the icon somewhere. Search for you program using with apt-cache search or aptitude search using the package name. Your short description will appear next to the package name when searching. Versions should be formatted majorver.minorver-packagever eg. 0.9-1 Author should be in the form of Your Name <[email protected]>
